Zen, I wasn't knocking you. Pardon. Anyway, what ever you want is what YOU want. Getting the most advice that differs is key to making an informed decision that willensure that the decision will be a good one that makes you happy. Painting is cool, just not ascool as cutting a window and thowing lights in to show off the hardware. That is my opinonanyway, take it for what it is, to each his/her own. :side: -maestro

Thanks for all the ideas. I think im jsut gonna stick with painting it my own colors andt hen adding some lights here and there once i get the camera fixed i will post pictures. I also had an idea of poping off the top layer of the keyboard and ass a strand of L.E.D going around the outline. I took it apart to clean all the crap out of it and the idea hit me. I am going to get the strand later this weekend i will let u know if it works.

if you want to add lights then not painting the small apple logo above the optical drives would be a good idea. check out whitlocks guide to adding a light there. check it out: http://macmod.com/content/view/189/2/

Well i have decided i am gonna keep the blue on the mac already and make both sides of the mac clear. I am gonna get 2 blue cold cathode tubes and put them on the inside and then get a blue strand of L.E.D. and run it through the keyboard. If anyone can tell me how to make the sides clear that would be great. Thanks for all the help.

pretty much. the frosted look seems to be right in the plastic itself where as on the G4 panels its just white paint on clear plastic. on those you just remove the paint. this is why I chose to paint the frosted areas.

ok i went to CompUSA topday and bought 4 cold cathode tubes and hooked them up there working great. i will update the mod pictures later when i get them downloading. The keyboard mod is gonna have to wait b/c i couldnt find any L.E.D. strands that were bendable to put in it. I am gonna have to special order them.
